Two clay tablets contain a letter to the god Aššur describing Esarhaddon's campaign against the land Šubria in 673 BC. The text is written in a literary style that makes use of flowery language and a great deal of dialogue in the form of direct quotations from diplomatic exchanges. The letter, like the prologue of text no. 1 (Nineveh A), may have been composed for ceremonies held on the occasion of the nomination of Ashurbanipal and Šamaš-šuma-ukīn as heir designates of Assyria and Babylon in Ayyāru (II) 672 BC. This text is sometimes referred to as Esarhaddon's "Letter to God," "Letter to Aššur," or "Gottesbrief" (Gbr. I–II).
